WOYWW - not linking as am really busy but......

........I had an email from one of the Snippets Playground 'comediennes' the other day, telling me to watch out for a pigeon dropping something here. Ha, so I walked round using an umbrella every time I ventured into the garden - but the pigeon that was being referred to arrived this morning and dropped his parcel off............with the postman.

Oh Mrs A, what a fabulous surprise - and not one little bit of pigeon poo in sight:

The most gorgeous box, covered in rose patterned material and stitched with the teeniest of stitches.

The box opened to show the top layer of THE most exquisite roses, all in shades of pink (yay!) complete with droplets of dew even - plus a darling little card, even the birdcage is glazed.

This is the second layer, of more delicious roses.

And nestled right at the bottom, shrink plastic butterflies - totally perfect :)

What can I say - not only do I have some beautiful handmade roses and butterflies to play with, there's also a delightful box to keep them in and to treasure even when the contents have been used.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mrs A!!

Of course there was a cheeky comment on the card saying 'From my snippets to your snippets' :)

As I said, not linking into WOYWW this week - a lot going on here and no time to hop around as I'd like to. I'll try to visit those of you I do follow of course but sometimes life just gets in the way and it's not fair to link :(

Awww...this is so gorgeous. These ladies at the playground are just the best, most generous of folks. And I'm glad to enjoy your 'pigeon visit' right along with you. Such a unique way to say "watch out"...TFS. And I know you'll enjoy.

I dunno, being told to watch out for pigeon droppings definitely sounds like a threat to me, good thing you had that umbrella. What a great parcel the pigeon postman left your you. What great gobs of fun. Those flowers are fabulous, as are butterflies. I wish you many happy snippets.

I don't normally wear a flower in my hair ...

..........just when I find one decorating a cocktail!

Welcome to my little workshop

I'm Diane (Di to most people), retired and I live in Hampshire, UK. The name Pixie's Crafty Workshop came about because my 'in-house critic' refers to 'The pixie being hard at work' whenever I'm playing with paper or other crafty stuff. And he's right, it's mostly when I should be doing other things :) I've always loved paper crafting - especially using scissors. Aged five and laid up with measles, in a fit of boredom I chopped my fringe right off! If it can be trimmed, then I'll trim it!
